Test policy

Test required Applicants must send an SAT or ACT score.

Johns Hopkins requires first-year applicants to submit SAT (Math and EBRW) or ACT (Math, Reading, English) scores; the university announced the requirement for fall 2026 entry onward and the current page names no specific term. No international exemption is stated; transfer applicants are not required to submit scores. (Verified on the official admissions website on 2026-11-06.)
